Violent Femmes - Hey Nonny Nonny lyrics

[Verse 1: Gordan Gano] Beauty sat bathing by a spring where fairest shades did hide her... The winds blew calm, the birds did sing, the cool streams ran beside her My wanton thoughts enticed mine eye to see what was forbidden But better memory said "fie" so vain desire was chidden [Chorus] Hey, nonny nonny, oh, hey nonny nonny Hey, nonny nonny, oh, hey nonny nonny Hey, nonny nonny, oh, hey nonny nonny Hey, nonny nonny, oh, hey nonny nonny [Verse 2] Into a slumber then I fell when fond imagination Seemed to see but could not tell her feature or her fashion But e'vn as babes in dreams do smile and sometimes fall a-weeping So I awaked as wise this while as when I fell a-sleeping [Chorus] [Spoken Bridge] Say, man, are you down for doing something positive in the community? No, I don't think I'll ever do that again Well, ain't you worried about doing the right thing? Well, I don't care if I hey-nonny-nonny-nonny-ho-nonny-nonny-nonny... [Verse 1 repeated] [Chorus] [Bridge: Brian Richie (1st part), Gordan Gano (2nd part) ] Hey Nonny Nonny, Hey Nonny Nonny Hey Nonny Nonny, Hey Nonny Nonny [Instrumental - Ba** and Drum solos] Hey Nonny Nonny Oh Ho, Nonny Nonny Hey Nonny Oh Nonny [Guitar Solo]
